Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@IsabelleXL Just curious, is there something preventing you from following the manual install instructions? For what it's worth, I've installed mine manually from day 1 and have been running it without issues since. Folks here are happy to help as well. If you have a Pi5 and would like to run RetroPie on it, I think there's no better time to start than now!

@sirhenrythe5th Unless you really care about theme sounds, disable the theme navigation sounds.
Otherwise, install pipewire, wireplumber and pipewire-alsa, though that brought other annoyances with it for me - I was unable to change the audio volume from within ES in my case, so I ended up uninstalling them.

Still, worth a shot if you want to have it all running. Always backup your SD card just in case :)

sudo apt install pipewire wireplumber pipewire-alsa

@pjft thank you Dude!
i dont need the navigations-sounds, i will deactivate them and try again!
Good point, i also had the idea that the navigation-sounds get in conflict with the video sounds.
I remember back in the days of my Pi2 when the navigation-sounds disabled samples of MAME-games using AdvanceMame1.3...this could be the solution indeed!

Thank you once again, great hint!

[pjft]

@sirhenrythe5th Well, not sure if it's the same thing, but I do recall getting those errors a while back and chatting with @mitu about them, and this being the conclusion we got to.

[IsabelleXL]

@pjft nothing preventing me but I’d rather just wait for the official image to come out

[pjft]

@IsabelleXL Got it.

Just to confirm: deactivating the navigation-sound did the trick!
Thanks for this great advise ^^

EDIT: just for interest -> if you disable the navigation sounds, the music you have chosen to be played during the slideshow-screensaver will be disabled too.

@sirhenrythe5th sorry this is meta and off topic, how did you get your signature to point towards the API data of your retroachievement?

[sirhenrythe5th]

@retropieuser555 i do it "the retro way" :)
I typed the phrases by my own and update the values sometimes.
AFAIK there is no syntax as we know i.e. from the PSN-Trophy-Cards which can be copied and pasted in your signature.

@retropieuser555
Anyone have a good case for a PI5 with NVME Hat?
I took your advice and grabbed a 2TB NVME + PI Hat.

Now I just need a case.

Grabbed this from MicroCenter for $15 on sale

[retropieuser555]

@Jiryn there's cases I've seen on Etsy but I don't think there's anything official yet for the pimoroni base. I just use it without a case at the moment

[Jiryn]

@retropieuser555
This one might?
Any point n the active cooling when the hat is installed?

Hi I installed Retropie by following this tutorial:

https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup

Everything is functional I'm delighted BUT I can't change the resolution, I searched a bit on the forum, tried dozens of changes in config.txt but nothing changes.

I would just like to set it to 1920x1080 on my TV.

Thanks!

@Slythief .

To change the resolution, add to the end of cmdline.txt !file the following:

video=HDMI-A-1:"add_your_width"x"add_your_height"M@"add_your_refresh_rate"

Example for 1080p 60HZ resolution:

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

Also, don't forget to add in the end of /boot/firmware/config.txt file this line :

kernel=kernel8.img

[Slythief]

@sugarfree

Thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately this doesn't work; I don't understand why.

When the Pi boots up and the fan is running at full speed, it displays correctly but once ES is started it is the wrong resolution.

[sugarfree]

@Slythief It should work. Can you post the cmdline.txt file? Do the games have the correct resolution?

[Slythief]

@sugarfree

The games work but not in 1920x1080, I have to go to a lower resolution so that the image does not overflow the screen.

cmdline:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=24658be2-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

@Slythief At this stage, I assume that an image would be helpful as I think different people are reading a different problem from your statements, including yourself. From your last statement, I am assuming this is actually an overscan issue, that you'd adjust on config.txt, setting overscan to 1 and adding overscan to it (negative or positive, depending on what you're observing).

[Slythief]

@pjft

Thank you for your answer, I will try! Will an official image be available?

at some point yes, when we don't know
